Not sure about Swiss laws regarding merchant payment card data retention… But they aren’t really going to matter with this situation either way. Even if Proton doesn’t keep any identifying information directly, the payment processor for sure is going to keep identifying data. Proton will have a confirmation number for the payment being processed, which can be correlated via the payment processor anyway.
The person paid with a credit card. Your credit card identifies you, obviously. Even if Proton doesn’t store any of that info, the payment processor will.
Proton lets you pay via anonymous methods, but this person didn’t use one of those methods.
Better not pay for hosting or anything related to that server or IP address with a credit card, because that links to your identity.
That is the only thing that was provided here. Proton even provides anonymous ways to pay, they just didn’t use one of those methods, they used their credit card. Even if Proton didn’t store any personal info directly for that payment, they would have a transaction confirmation for the payment, and the credit card payment processor definitely will have your info by necessity to process the payment.
Not at all. Proton doesn’t require any personal info at all. But if you pay with a credit card… That has your personal info tied to it. It’s their fuck up paying with a credit card. Proton accepts other payment methods that aren’t tied to your identity.
Proton is required by law to provide information they have when the courts say so.
Not so hot take… Regular police should not have guns. Not with less lethal alternatives now which they already carry as well. If guns are necessary, that’s for SWAT.
If they don’t have their 9mm Universal Problem Solver, they’ll have to actually deescalate and work through situations.
Of course. Perjury is never prosecuted. Even with clear and undeniable evidence. Why would you even spend a second worrying about it?
That we know of. Apple doesn’t exactly have a clean track record of avoiding double speak.
It makes sense if they don’t care. It works well enough for their marketplace and that’s as far as they decided to go with it. Amazon isn’t exactly known for accountability.
Amazon handles fulfillment for tens or thousands of third party sellers.
Unless the item you’re buying says “sold by Amazon” under the Buy buttons, it’s coming from a third party. Prime shipping only means it is coming from the Amazon warehouse, not that Amazon is selling it.
It’s been a major issue for years for commonly counterfeited brands, because apparently Amazon’s warehouses don’t differentiate and all those items are dumped in the same bins, so real products get mixed with fakes and third party sellers get hit with returns, reviews, and even bans for fake products. Apparently Amazon puts the same generic item barcode on all of the items, and once they’re mixed into in the bins they no longer can track individual products back to the original seller.
Quintessential “works for me” response. Must be a software developer.
Well you clearly haven’t used the standard available download (non-beta/nightly release) consistently through last year. Waterfox was using ESR 128 since October 2024, kept that base until finally upgrading to ESR 140 last August. So that’s nearly a year of its base being out of date. So the user agent reported that number… sites really don’t like that since they’re looking at that for support.

Twitch only supports the last TWO versions of Firefox officially and will actively block logging in from older versions. So while you might be able to watch Twitch, if you aren’t already logged in, you won’t be able to login.

There are thousands of posts about it online for Waterfox other forks.
Last time I tried Waterfox some sites like Twitch that actively block usage on old browsers, refused to work because the latest Waterfox release was based on a Firefox like 20+ builds behind.
Firefox was on like version 142 and the latest Waterfox download was based on build 128.
Meanwhile commercial shipping in international waters uses the worst fuels on the planet and has basically zero regulation. Emitting thousands of times the pollutants every day, but that’s not flashy and doesn’t involve SpaceX which is guaranteed instant clickbait.
Support your local Street Pharmacist, not Big Pharma!
I never said it was solely on them, but saying that has no bearing on it is ridiculous as well.
We also had COVID which many/most schools had no fucking idea how to handle. There’s basically an entire year of wasted education there.
Remote learning is a completely different beast. And digital social interaction is completely different than being physically at school with friends. Social interactions are a large part of learning as well.
Blame it on the technology though, because admitting that Republicans plan are ALWAYS terrible for anyone below the 1%, without exception, somehow is impossible.
I’m sure the systemic defunding and dismantling of the public education system across the United States at the hands of Republican lawmakers over the same timeframe has absolutely nothing to do with it.
How the fuck does age gating prevent cyber bullying? That’s not an age issue, it’s an asshole issue.
Oh wait, because it’s not about age at all but identifying individuals who think differently when the regime. Whichever regime that is.
Ah the classic Linux community response to any complaint.
The current v1 blade battery has operated in the real world about the same as their original announcement, which also was viewed with skepticism.
These aren’t research laboratory battery advancements without real world scenarios attached. These are announcements for an improved product entering production. Like a new phone being announced, not just a white paper from a lab that hasn’t been scaled.
